For whatever reason, the spectacular film ‘Moon’, directed by Duncan Jones and starring Sam Rockwell is streaming for free on YouTube. If you’ve never seen it, you really should. Also… free movie! Free awesome movie!
Jim Henson passed away 22 years ago today. This shit is sad. YOU AREN’T SUPPOSED TO MAKE ME CRY BIG BIRD.
Ok, I like this.
On this day in 1945, both Great Britain and the United States celebrate Victory in Europe Day. Cities in both nations, as well as formerly occupied cities in Western Europe, put out flags and banners, rejoicing in the defeat of the Nazi war machine.

Flint & Tinder: Made in the USA Underwear Kickstarter
Jake, the owner of a new underwear company called Flint & Tinder, sent me a nice note about a Kickstarter he’s running to get the business off the ground. He’d like to make Supima cotton underwear, from all-American materials, in the US of A. His goal to get the lines rolling is $30,000, and he’s well on his way already.
Currently the only folks making underwear in the US are American Apparel, and while it’s great that they make domestically (here in Los Angeles, in fact), there are numerous issues with the company that make me a bit hesitant to recommend them. The underwear market is otherwise focused on licensed brands (if you think the big fashion brands make their own underwear, think again) being made by commodity companies in low-cost third world nations.
Flint and Tinder sounds like an interesting alternative at a reasonable price point: $15 for a single pair, $36 for three or $75 for seven. Options like this can only improve the marketplace.
